11. The Politician and the Political Scientist

William C. Mitchell

Office of Senator Morse

Though the political scientist may learn much from the politician, the reverse is not the case. Lawyers, economists, and others are more useful to politicians; traditional political science lends experts on detail sometimes. But behaviorism promises to inform the politician and help him control his en vironment, leading to the conviction that behaviorism is the path to an instrumentally potent political science.
